海員七號 – Seaman No. 7 (1973)

Bar brawler extraordinaire Hai Lung (Wang Yu), has an aversion to Japanese, and after he accidentaly kills a Japanese guy in a bar fight, he flees. But stowing away on a ship of a criminal syndicate smuggling goods turns out ot be a bad idea, and Hai Lung ends up embroiled with the syndicate, led by the Golden Haired Royal (James Tien). He gets away, and hides away with his cousin Li (Lee Kwan) and his family, but when the syndicate comes looking for him, all hell breaks loose.

Another excellent contemporary basher from Lo Wei and Wang Yu, Seaman No. 7, also know as The Fighter, delivers on all fronts. It’s a first-rate basher, and while not revolutionary, helped paved the way for the sub-genre to flurish, largely due to the starpower of Jimmy Wang Yu.
